Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The relative abundance of water vapor ensures air never is completely dry. The water vapor in the
atmosphere can condense into clouds, fog, or even rain and snow. The water vapor originates from the
ground, plants, and the sea surface. Information can be found in the section The Atmosphere Is
Composed Mainly of Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Water Vapor.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Winds move vertically at the boundaries of circulation cells. The surface winds become weak and
erratic. Information can be found in the section Atmospheric Circulation Generates Large-Scale
Surface Wind Patterns.
